Wine enthusiasts and weather forecasters agree that Spring is definitely arriving this weekend due to the launch of the 15th Okanagan Spring Wine Festival presented by Valley First Credit Union. With the prediction of sunny skies and temperatures in the low 20’s, the 92 member wineries of the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society are expecting strong turnouts for the over 80 wine and food events during the 10 day Spring Wine Festival.
Daniel Bibby, General Manager, The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, stated today “The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort is ecstatic at being given the opportunity to showcase our resort hotel as the host of the very popular WestJet Wine Tastings on Friday May 1 and Saturday May 2. The demand is so strong that advance tickets sales are the highest they have been ever. With increased capacity that we can offer, we are expecting to see 700 -750 people both nights enjoying premium wines, music and an on-site wine store for all wineries which is a first for this event.” Ticket prices for the WestJet Wine Tastings are $55 available online through www.ticketmaster.ca or by phone at 250-860-1470. Your ticket also includes a free taxi ride home courtesy of the BC Liquor Stores and Johnston Meier Insurance.
